Degreed's entry into the Why Open Education Matters competition.
APPEAL OF OER
COST: By sharing and adapting educational materials, content acquisition costs can be cut dramatically, allowing schools to make better use of available resources.
RESOURCES TO ADDRESS NEW STANDARDS: With the adoption of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), conditions are ripe to explore the use of OER. Districts are looking for resources that align with the educational shifts present in the new standards and content creators are now able to create materials for use across dozens of states and by millions of students.
RAPIDLY UPDATE CONTENT: OER quality improves over time by enabling continuous adaptation and updating of learning resources. This improvement cycle contrasts with traditional materials that typically have to be used by students until a new purchasing cycle.
ADAPTABLE FOR PERSONALIZED LEARNING: OER create powerful opportunities by enabling educators to use, develop, and share quality OER to meet their students’ unique requirements and needs.
LEVERAGE TECHNOLOGY: As districts look to shift to a one-to-one computing environment, where every student has a tablet, laptop, or other device, OER is a cost-effective way to provide digital content.
